Nikon Rangefinder System book : ‘Bob’ Rotoloni, the founder of the Nikon Historical Society and publisher of the Nikon Journal is Nikon from head to toe with a vast knowledge and understanding of the Nikon rangefinder system. He has been published before, in 1981 and revised in 1983 with his book ‘Nikon Rangefinder Camera’. In early 2004, renowned Nikon Expert Robert Rotoloni began work on his new book knowing that it would use practically nothing from his previous book ‘Nikon Rangefinder Camera’. Using less than a dozen images from the 1983 book, this new edition will have 1350 black and white illustrations plus 24 pages of full colour by master photographer Tony Hurst all contained in its 528 pages.

Robert Rotoloni - Nikon Journal
Author Robert Rotoloni says: “This edition is the culmination of over 35 years of research and exclusively collecting this system. It distils the hundreds of articles and photos that have appeared in the pages of my Nikon Journal these last 24 years, 5 trips and many interviews with key personnel at Nippon Kogaku in Tokyo, as well as viewing the top collections in the world and countless conversations with hundreds of Nikon collectors worldwide. It is the author’s hope that the vast amount of information and knowledge of this landmark camera series learned over the previous decades has been faithfully preserved between the covers of my new book for all Nikon collectors, present and future”.
